<p> The lion of God, one of Ezra's chief men, Ezra 8:16 . This word is used, in 2 Samuel 24:25; 1 Chronicles 11:22 , as a descriptive or perhaps a family name of two lion-like men of Moab. In another sense, Ezekiel applies it to the altar of God, Ezekiel 43:15 , and Isaiah to Jerusalem, as the hearth on which both the burnt offerings and the enemies of God should be consumed, Isaiah 29:1,2,7 . See also [[Genesis]] 49:9 . </p> | |||

<li> A symbolic name for [[Jerusalem]] ( Isaiah 29:1,2,7 ) as "victorious under God," and in Ezekiel 43:15,16 , for the altar (marg., Heb. 'ariel) of burnt offerings, the secret of Israel's lion-like strength. <p> </p> <div> <p> [[Copyright]] StatementThese dictionary topics are from M.G.

<p> ("lion of God".) </p> <p> 1. A brave "chief," who directed under Ezra ( Ezra 8:16) the caravan from [[Babylon]] to Jerusalem. ARELI is akin ( Numbers 26:17). In 2 Samuel 23:20 Winer translates for "two like-like men" two (sons) of Ariel; but [[Gesenius]] supports the KJV. </p> <p> 2. A symbolic name for [[Jerusalem]] ( Isaiah 29:1-2), the lion of God, rendered by God invincible. For "the lion of the tribe of Judah" is on her side ( Revelation 5:5). "It shall be unto Me as Ariel"; it shall emerge from its dangers invincible, Sennacherib's invasion shall recoil on himself. In Ezekiel 43:15 "the altar"; the secret of Israel's lion-like strength, her having God at peace with her through the atoning sacrifice there. Menochius guesses that the lieu ( aril ) was carved on it; but as the word in [[Hebrew]] of Ezekiel 43:15 ( arieil ) is somewhat different from that in Isaiah, perhaps in Ezekiel it menus, from an Arabic root, "the hearth of God." Ganneau has deciphered on the [[Moabite]] stone that the [[Ariel]] of [[David]] is mentioned as taken by Mesha, the Moabite king, at Ataroth, and dragged before the face of [[Chemosh]] at Kerioth. The Ariel here must mean a lion carved altar of God. </p> | |||

<p> <strong> ARIEL </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . One of Ezra’s chief men ( Ezra 8:16 ). <strong> 2 </strong> . The name of a [[Moabite]] (according to RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2 Samuel 23:20 , 1 Chronicles 11:22 ) whose two sons were slain by Benaiah. <strong> 3 </strong> . A name of uncertain meaning, perhaps = ‘God’s altar-hearth,’ given to [[Jerusalem]] by Isaiah ( Isaiah 29:1 ff.). It has recently been proposed to read <em> Uri-el </em> (‘city of God’) as a paronomasia or play of words on <em> Uru-salim </em> , the earliest recorded form of the name ‘Jerusalem.’ </p> <p> A. R. S. Kennedy. </p> | |||

<p> 1. Symbolical name of Jerusalem, signifying 'Lion of God,' probably in reference to the lion being the emblem of Judah. Isaiah 29:1,2,7 . In the margin of Ezekiel 43:15 , the altar is called the 'lion of God;' but the word is slightly different and is translated by some the 'hearth of God,' the place for offering all sacrifices to God. </p> <p> 2. One whom Ezra sent to Iddo at Casiphia. Ezra 8:16 . </p> <p> 3. In 2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22 , we read that [[Benaiah]] slow two 'lion-like men,' which some prefer to translate 'two [sons] of Ariel.' The [[Hebrew]] is literally 'two lions of God.' </p> | |||

<p> [[Ariel]] ( â'ri-el or a-rî'el), lion of God. One of Ezra's chief men who directed the caravan which Ezra led from [[Babylon]] to Jerusalem. Ezra 8:16. [[Jerusalem]] being the chief city of Judah, whose emblem was a lion, [[Genesis]] 49:9, the word Ariel is applied to that city. Isaiah 29:1. </p> | |||

<p> A'riel. (lion of God). </p> <p> 1. One of the "chief men" who, under Ezra, directed the caravan which he led back from [[Babylon]] to Jerusalem. Ezra 8:16. (B.C. 459). The word occurs also in reference to two [[Moabites]] slain by Benaiah. 2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22. </p> <p> Many regard the word as an epithet, "lion-like"; but it seems better to look upon it as a proper name, and translate "two sons of Ariel." </p> <p> 2. A designation, given by Isaiah, to the city of Jerusalem. Isaiah 29:1-2; Isaiah 29:7. We must understand by it either "lion of God", as the chief city, or "hearth of God", a synonym for the [[Altar]] of Burnt Offering. </p> <p> On the whole, it seems most probable that, as a name given to Jerusalem, [[Ariel]] means "lion of God", whilst the word used by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 43:15-16 means "hearth of God". </p> | |||

<p> Ariel, 1 </p> <p> A´riel, a word meaning 'lion of God,' and correctly enough rendered by 'lion-like,' in 2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22. It was applied as an epithet of distinction to bold and warlike persons, as among the Arabians, who surnamed Ali 'The Lion of God.' </p> <p> Ariel, 2 </p> <p> The same word is used as a local proper name in Isaiah 29:1-2, applied to Jerusalem—'as victorious under God'—says Dr. Lee; and in Ezekiel 43:15-16, to the altar of burnt-offerings. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||

<p> (Heb. Ariel', אֲרִיאֵל , Sept. Ἀριήλ ), a word meaning "lion of God," and correctly enough rendered by "lion-like" in 2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22. It was applied as an epithet of distinction to bold and warlike persons, as among the Arabians, who surnamed Ali "The' Lion of God" (Abulf. Ann. 1, 96; Bochart, Hieroz. 1, 716). Others, as Thenius, Winer, Furst, look upon it in these passages as a proper name, and translate "two [sons] of Ariel," supplying the word בְּנֵי, which might easily have fallen out. (See [[Areli]]). </p> <p> 1. One of the chief men sent for by Ezra to procure [[Levites]] for' the services of the sanctuary ( Ezra 8:16). B.C. 459. </p> <p> 2. The same word is used as a local proper name in Isaiah 29:1-2; Isaiah 29:7, applied to Jerusalem, "as victorious under God," says Dr. Lee; and in Ezekiel 43:15-16, to the altar of burnt-offerings. (See [[Harel]]). </p> <p> In this latter passage [[Gesenius]] (Thes. Heb. p. 147) and others, unsatisfied with the Hebrew, resort to the Arabic, and find the first part of the name in Ar-i, fire-hearth (cognate with Heb. אוֹר, light, i.e. fire), which, with the Heb. El, God, supplies what they consider a more satisfactory signification (but see Havernick, Comment. in loc.). It is thus applied, in the first place, to the altar, and then to [[Jerusalem]] as containing the altar. Henderson gives the word this etymology also in the passage in Isaiah (see Comment. in loc.). </p> | |||
